NGR Accountancy Limited

What NGR Accountancy Limited does

NGR Accountancy Limited is a UK-based chartered certified accountancy practice founded in summer 2018 by Neil in Lerwick, Shetland. The firm provides bookkeeping, accounting, tax, VAT, CIS (Construction Industry Scheme), and payroll services to UK small businesses, sole traders, partnerships, and limited companies. Service delivery is digital-first: clients submit documents via an online portal, receive processed accounts and reports by email, and interact with the firm through phone, email, or video call. The underlying technology stack centres on QuickBooks bookkeeping software, for which the firm holds Platinum ProAdvisor status, combined with a proprietary online client portal that supports document upload and remote engagement.

The business model combines recurring monthly subscriptions with one-off transactional services. Subscription packages for sole traders are tiered by turnover band at £165, £255, and £355 per month, with add-on modules for monthly management accounts (£15), CIS Contractor services (£10), and a lower-tier Supported Bookkeeping Package at £37.50/month + VAT for DIY clients. A flat £50/month Simple VAT package targets businesses with under 12 transactions per return. One-off services span limited company accounts (£545–£1,495), corporation tax returns (£275–£895), sole trader accounts (£375–£625), self-assessment (£245), and dormant accounts (£125), with combined packages starting at £820.

The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer and content-led: the firm operates a single website (ngraccountancy.co.uk) with a blog covering tax and compliance topics, a 'Build Your Package' configurator, and a client portal for onboarding. No external funding, M&A activity, partnerships beyond the QuickBooks relationship, or geographic expansion beyond the UK are evidenced. The firm operates as a founder-led micro-practice with a headcount in the 1–10 range.
